Zoology

  • Spider Web

    Adult male spiders do not build webs, instead they reserve their silk for mating. It is the female spiders that build the webs. This was known recently, however this was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it was discovered. Quran 29:41 "In the original arabic version of the Quran It-takhatha اتَّخَذَ" is for males. "It-takhathat اتَّخَذَتْ" is for females. The Quran used "It-takhathat" for females. Here the female spider builds the web.

  • Honey Bees

    In the Quran there is something strange about number 16 and the bees. Chapter 16 is called "The Bees". The only verse that mentions the bees is made up of 16 words. And those words are made up of 16 different letters. Quran 16:68 It turned out that bees have something odd in their chromosomes; Female bees have 16 pairs of chromosomes (32 total) while males have only 16 chromosomes (Males have no father. Males are unfertilized eggs of the mother, just like Jesus). Worker bees, those who gather pollen and make the honey, are actually all females. Male bees do not make honey. This was only known recently, however this was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it was discovered. The Quran refers to bees that generate the honey as females (the Arabic grammar is in the female mode): Quran 16:68-69

  • Colonies

    1400 years ago nobody knew that animals communicate and live in colonies. Animals live in communities and have their own languages. This was known recently, however this was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it was discovered. Quran 6:38

  • Crow

    1400 years ago people thought that only humans held funerals for their dead. However today we know that this is false, crows hold funerals for their dead. Today we know that crows hold funerals for their dead. This was known recently, however this was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it was discovered. In the story of Able and Cain crows show behaviour similar to that of humans towards their dead. Quran 5:31

  • Nocturnal Animals

    1400 years ago people thought that all animals rest at night. However today we know that this is false, some animals are active during the night and rest during the day. Nocturnal animals are active at night and rest at day. This was known recently, however 1400 years ago the Quran said that there are creatures that rest at night as well as creatures that rest at day: Quran 6:13 Creatures that rest in the day means they are active at night. No mistakes in the Quran.

  • Fossils

    1400 years ago people thought that when animals die they decay and vanish. Nobody knew that corpse can be preserved naturally. Today we know this is false; animals can be fossilized for millions of years. "Fossilized stomach contents are extremely rare" animals can be fossilized for millions of years but fossilized stomach contents are extremely rare. This was only known recently, however this was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it was discovered. In the story of Jonas he was swallowed by a whale: Quran 37:142-144 "Stayed in its belly until the Day they are raised" this is fossilized stomach contents. Today we found the extremely rare fossilized stomach contents.

  • Camels

    1400 years ago people drank fast when they were thirsty, but nobody knew which animal drank the fastest. Today we know that thirsty camels can drink 200 L (53 US gal) of water in three minutes. Camels are the fastest drinkers. This was only known recently, however this was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it was discovered. Thirsty people in Hell will drink like camels. Quran 56:54-55
